Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of broadband residential gateway software
solutions, and Partner Communications, a leading Israeli mobile telecoms
operator, have reached an agreement that sees Jungo integrating its
OpenRG™ residential gateway software into Partner’s new SmartBox™ home
gateway, part of the operator’s innovative new home communications
offering.
OpenRG software delivers Partner Communications a range of capabilities
as well as a platform for introducing and launching new value added
services. With Jungo's remote upgrade capability, an operator can load
customized middleware onto deployed gateways from almost any vendor, and
therefore can introduce new services without the need to replace its
installed base. OpenRG also provides a suite of functionalities to
substantially reduce operational costs. These include transparent
fault-finding, and user-focused troubleshooting that helps minimize
support calls.
With SmartBox, launched in December 2008, Partner Communications'
customers will enjoy advanced broadband services such as 802.11n
wireless network, advanced VoIP capabilities including integrated DECT,
call hijacking between cellular and fixed line, home media sharing and
other services.
“The ability to offer new innovative services to our customers is
central to Partner Communications’ strategy,” said Alon Berman, Partner
Communications VP Internet and Broadband. “The residential gateway is
now at the heart of the digital home, and key enabler of the advanced
services that our customers want.
